Adam Milstein, an Israeli-American who is employed by Hager Pacific Properties, feels passion for Jewry. With Adam Milstein, the number one word is Zionism. He is all about Zionism, and he keeps talking about it through speeches at conferences, published articles and social media. If there is anybody who is the epitome of evil, it is an anti-Zionist—in the opinion of Adam Milstein. He equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism. This is because of the fact that having a land to call their own is the dream of Jews. Not having a land of their own makes them extremely vulnerable to the aggressive advances of majority populations and governments that are controlled by majority populations who are not them. Zionism is crucial to the safety and security of Jewish people. Having a physical homeland in a biblically prescribed place is also extremely important for concreting Jewish identity.

For thousands of years, Jews have wandered around the planet, with a constant series of dramatic events happening throughout the years. Ever since biblical times, they have been ethnic, racial and religious minorities in places where they have resided. This has led to them being scapegoated for a variety of bad things and abused by majority populations. There have also been some negative aspects of their societies that majority populations have taken out of proportion. These negative aspects have been cited as justifications for antisemitism. However, antisemitism is never justified. This is why Israel must exist, andwhy Adam Milstein rallies for Zionism.

There are many factors that serve as challenges to Zionism. For example, young Jews are being chased out of Israel by poor economic conditions. Adam Milstein has taken on this problem in the articles and posts that he has published. There is no shortage of young, educated people who cannot find employment. There is also no shortage of people who are unable to save up money and own property. The way that Israel is described, it sounds like a place where only extraordinarily wealthy people can live in comfort with a prospective future—kind of like Dubai.

Soros was born in Hungary to an upper-class, Hungarian-Jewish family. As a Jewish child in Nazi-occupied Hungary, Soros wasn’t allowed to attend school. Soros and other Jewish children in Budapest had to report to the Jewish Council and asked to hand out notices to Jewish residents who were being deported. He took the notes to his father who told him that the people listed were Jewish lawyers. His father instructed him to go to each of the people on the list and tell them not to report, or they’d face deportation. His family survived the Siege of Budapest, and Soros father was responsible for saving the lives of many Hungarian Jews. Soros background made him aware of issues such as reforms to the criminal justice system, religious tolerance, and immigration reform, and he’s spent years supporting those causes.
